Hi all,
Im selecting a color for event in a color picker. it is saved into the db as hexa code.i want to rerive the values and bind that event into the corresponding color. please let me a way.
<font color='<%# Container.DataItem["FontColor"] %>'>
<%# Container.DataItem["EventDescription"]%>
</font>
FontColor is retrieved as hexa.

The only way I can see, is to have a lookup that checks if the values entered match a known named color.

Hi guys
I want to develop a desktop application for a client of mine who has no web coding experience, the application must be able to download a page from the server so he can update
images and content of a website.
lets make an example:
the client sells cars and wants to remove info on the cars that he sold so he can replace it with another car he just got in..
so he must be able to download the specific page and replace the images there and text.
the pages will be done in asp.net and will be using a master page.. so IN SHORT I just want to change the content without messing up the site code.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

Sounds like you have this all backwards. You need to build a CMS that shows details of cars and then had an admin login that allows him to edit/create/delete content.

Another way of looking at this is to have a database point to descriptive text and images that the web site will render; then all your client needs to do is update the database with the new text and images. Of course, you will have to build the database maintenance utility and modify the existing web site to reference the database. Sounds like a nice challenge.

Sounds like your client needs to go elsewhere.
You don't need to download the page to update it. It's a simple database driven application of the type you can find in any ASP.NET book.

Thank you so much for your input. do you perhaps know where i can get a tutorial that can teach me how to do that?

Honestly, if you have no idea how to do this, then the odds are good that you're not the man for the job. It's really simple, you store your data in your DB, and you write a page which changes by loading different rows from the DB, each row describing, in this instance, a car.

Id also love to know the answer - i'd love to pick up these sorts of job but I fail at the first hurdle (how in the hell do I market myself to these small businesses?)

I am interested, too. Did he bid for it ? Did his work give it to him ?
Usually, the answer is that they get through on price, and it's because of inexperienced people getting through on price, that you don't get as far as you'd like.

Looking at his profile Instructor/trainer, he probably had personal contact and sold the poor sod on his ability to deliver. Bulls**t talking again or it could be that the client is fully aware of his limitations and is willing to accept the results of a learning experience. Probably paying so little that it will not be painfull to throw it away.

hello every one,
i am fresher having 2 month of exe.i am working in a small company,should i continue my career in this field,or for for lecturership.is this field is secure after exe of 1 or 2 year.should i continue,guide me please.

Well, I am not sure what '2 month of exe' means, surely you have more than two months of experience if you have a job ?
this is not really an ASP.NET question, but, I'd say the answer is, it depends what your other options are. The outsourcing world ( I am assuming from your english and lack of experience that this is where you are ), is going to come crashing down IMO, because it's based on terribly written code, bad communication, poor service and cheap prices. That can't last. I've worked with firms in India on a couple of projects, and seen enough execrable code in these forums to know this is true. But, unless you have better options where you are, perhaps you need to stay in it. If you do, then buy a few books, learn to actually program, and how to use google. From what I've seen, it would take very little to rise to the top of your field, if you're in India or a similar country. I know many excellent Indian programmers, but none of them are in India. However, I expect people like MS would be hiring the cream of the crop over there, and providing pretty stable employment.

Much as I'd wish your prophecy came true one day Christian, don't underestimate the greed and poor planning of medium-sized companies that in my opinion, keep feeding the outsourcing demand market.
Bull**** walks and money talks, sadly.

I don't know. I think forums like this one will actually help these people realise how unqualified the folks they are paying, are. I think that horror stories from other companies will slow down outsourcing. The big one, sadly, is that out of work devs within these countries, will take the jobs for less, and close the gap, which will in turn, mean that there's no logical reason to outsource.
